Coast-to-Coast Host Art Bell Died of Drug Cocktail Overdose
From the Vegas Review Journal:
Bell died April 13 in a bedroom of his Pahrump home at age 72. The coroner’s office determined he had four prescription medications in his system: the opioid oxycodone, the analgesic hydrocodone, diazepam, often marketed as Valium, and carisoprodol, a muscle-relaxant. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertension contributed to his death, the coroner’s office said.
The drugs that killed Bell were lawfully prescribed to him, the Nye County Sheriff’s Office said in a video posted to Facebook.
Bell’s interview style was to let his interview subjects and his callers direct the discussion, never casting doubt on what they were saying, and instead, allowing them to tell their story without judgement. Bell had a lot of good episodes and was highly entertaining. My favorite was probably Father Malachi Martin.
His show was not without criticism though. It was, at least occasionally, used to delegitimize real discussion about some more far out issues. For example, Ed Dames, a soldier who worked on the government’s remote viewing project called “Project Stargate,” publicly spoke about the classified project on Bell’s show. This had the effect of stigmitizing the government’s efforts to research psychic activity, eventually contributing to its shutdown in the mid 90s. Many consider this to have been an intentional effort by elements within the government to shut down the project.
In addition, Bell contributed to the theory that a UFO was behind the Hale-Bopp comet, eventually inspiring the Heaven’s Gate cult which committed mass suicide in 1997.

In Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, space and time are unified in a single entity called spacetime. This is the “stage” in which the laws of physics operate.
In Einstein’s theory, the presence of mass and energy warps spacetime, and it is this curvature that affects objects in the way we perceive as gravity. The basic idea is that while we see objects accelerating towards a mass by the effect of a force, in reality is just the object attempting to follow a straight line in this four-dimensional warped space described by General Relativity.
In other words, things fall because they are following a straight line in spacetime.
In usual illustrations, the bending of space is represented as a flat rubber-sheet with masses pressing down on it. This has always bugged me, as it didn’t really represent the nature of 3D space being curved, and it never really addressed the fact that time is also distorted near masses.
This is my first attempt at a better depiction of the effects of General Relativity. Here, we see a 3x3x3 section of an imaginary spatial grid (that extends throughout all of space) being distorted by the presence of a mass. At the intersections of the grid lines there are clocks that show the rate of passage of time at each point in space, relative to a far away observer.
Notice how the clocks near the mass measure time at a slower pace than the clocks further away from the mass.
The distortion of spacetime is real, and can and has been measured experimentally several times. Modern telecommunication satellites and GPS systems all make use of the predictions of General Relativity in order to function.
While bizarre and complex, General Relativity has stood the test of time, and is one of the most well-tested and successful scientific theories ever conceived.
